This year, the Subnational B-READY series covers 40 cities in six EU Member States—Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Portugal, Romania, and the Slovak Republic—covering 36 European regions. In the Slovak Republic, the Subnational B-READY covers five cities in four regions at the NUTS2 level: Bratislava (Bratislava region), Košice (Eastern), Prešov (Eastern), Trnava (Western), and Žilina (Central). The primary objective of the Subnational B-READY studies is to identify and address regional disparities in regulatory environments and to promote reforms that foster private sector growth, job creation, and sustainability. The Subnational B-READY series delivers a rigorous, data-driven analysis of business climates at the local level, offering actionable insights for policy makers.
